Spiced Grilled Onion Slices

INGREDIENTS:

2 Large red, Spanish or sweet onions
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh parsley
Dash of Red Pepper Flakes


PREPARATION:

Day Before if possible. If using fresh herbs, wash and mince them finely. Add to the Olive oil and let stand overnight.

Peel the skin & cut them into ½” thick slices; about 5 or 6 slices per onion.
Stir in the herbs & pepper in the oil after letting it rest.

Cover onion slices with water and let stand for about ½ hour. Then drain.
Drizzle herb oil over the onion slices, save some for basting. Let them sit for at least half an hour.

GRILLING:

Grill onions, close cover and grill over medium-high for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn them over and drizzle the reserved Herb oil. Grill each side for a few minutes.

If you want grill marks, oil the grill first and only turn them once. If the grill is too hot, lower the rack.
